Not only did his side go down 3-0 to a lacklustre England, but he then got hit in the side of the head by a paper plane hurled from the stands.

Everyone watching on television and in the ground saw the bizarre incident as the homemade aircraft soared on to his bonce.

But wait until you see how far away the plane was thrown from.

This amazing video shows how the paper airplane was sent on its way from all the way up in the upper tier of the national stadium, only to float right down on to the playing surface, and poor unsuspecting Riojas' noggin.
